It's just about a week until Street Fighter V is launched in America and Europe, but this trailer is just amping up the hype. Bringing back the characters, reviving older ones (quite literally), and introducing some new ones, this trailer gives you a taste of a lot of their personality and what sort of feuds can be expected.

One of the things I've loved about the Street Fighter franchise is that there are always some sort of connections to other characters, and even if the game is just a fighting game, Capcom has put in effort to give their characters backgrounds and personalities that I just can't get enough of. Of the returning cast, one of my favorite characters to see back is Charlie. He was an old soldier friend of Guile's who gets killed, and now... he looks like Frankenstein's monster. Every time a new Street Fighter game comes out, I try not to be overly hyped about it, but I just can't help it. It's so AWESOME! Now all I can do is hope that Capcom will revive the Darkstalkers game. Please. Please Capcom.
